The University of North Carolina at Greensboro has a suspected case of the H¹N¹ flu. A male attendee of UNCG’s All Arts and Sciences Camp, located on the campus of NCSU, complained of flu-like symptoms on Thursday, June 25. The camper was treated by a personal health care provider and sent home to recover. Parents of the other campers were notified of the suspected case on Thursday night, prior to picking their campers up at the end of the camp session on Friday morning.

The parents and the campers have been reminded that the best protection against this flu is good personal hygiene. These practices include thorough hand washing with warm water and soap, or alcohol-based hand sanitizers; covering coughs and sneezes with a disposable tissue; or coughing or sneezing into a bended elbow or sleeve; and practicing social distancing by staying home away from others if sick.
